So you leave the metal on some of them? Or you just ain't got around to taking that bit off?
no matter!
OK
I am convinced, obviously very strong and tough.
Did you need to take the weight into consideration when buiding the rest of it?
I have no need right now but i need to find a supplier near me.

Thanks for showing us all this.

Having a coffee then im going back out, im in 2 minds whether to put the boards through the planner or sand them once they
are buttoned down. I do like all the imperfections which shows up once oiled.

We have a refectory table cut from one piece of elm. It it huge and heavy but a fabulous thing. It's in the kitchen in frogland otherwise I would be able to take a pic of the imperfection to be seen at one end. It just adds character, the king won't be dining off it! And it don't need oil to show it up! If you wanted to get rid of it you'd have to shorten the table by about 4 feet. Not going to happen.
If they were going to be house floor boards I'd do it as then less likely to give anyone splinters etc also more even so less likely to cause a trip. But where they are? Not really unless you are going to be putting stuff on them that could get caught, scratched etc.

I was thinking of getting a funeral plan in the new year

Apparently the local tip (refuge centre technical term). They're offering a reasonable package as part of the local council rates. The body will be bagged in a purple heavy duty bin bag, with a free Tree air freshener of the deceased choice. On collection days a receipt for the body. A plant pot and flower in the deceased mulch remains will be posted via Royal Mail 2nd class stamp service.
Rather nice.

Having discovered, when I was executor for my father's will, that the only thing that CAN be paid for out of the estate before probate, is the funeral, all these adverts for funeral plans totally flip me off.
All you have to do is have an arrangement with the funeral home and the deceased's bank, before they pop off and no need for any of this.
All this "I'm so worried about my poor family having to shell out all this dosh when I go."
Pffffft. Absolutely stinks.

Can You Pay Funeral Expenses Out of the Estate

Funeral costs can be paid from the deceased person’s Estate (T&C Apply), but you may have to wait until the Probate process has been completed.

In my case we were luckier than most as the army, or the army pensions people, paid for it, as they felt his death was in part due to what happened to him during the war, i.e. medical negligence.

My funeral plan is quite simple. Bury me in an asbestos suit along with a couple of fire extinguishers. I know where I'm going

I'll stick a frozen pizza in so you have something to eat when you get there.

I said to my other half when I pass and get cremated full me with popcorn kernels

...that much to the annoyance of SWMBO some considerable time was spent completing the Left-Hand hex-holed insert and making the alignment tool. Things are much better now. There is still some visible "wobble" of the cassette sprockets but it is much better than before.

I might get to weld the two halves up tomorrow.

I see the TV advertising daily push funeral plans or life insurance as second nature. Makes you wonder why and are Americans have this as more obvious.
I'd be interested what next for making death easier. I have a feeling this has been done before, like a former cult leader in charge of a funeral plan. While Ad men see this as a money winner without come backs. Soften the impression of death and more people will go for it.
